The authors of this collaboratively written book treat code not as merely functional but as a text—in the case of 10 PRINT, a text that appeared in many different printed sources—that yields a story about its making, its purpose, its assumptions, and more. They consider randomness and regularity in computing and art, the maze in culture, the popular BASIC programming language, and the highly influential Commodore 64 computer

Many of them won't survive the vagaries of business bankruptcies and mergers, technological obsolescence, or failure. Their survival requires overcoming technical hurdles-and understanding what must be put in place to insure that dynamic elements and structures will be preserved along with the more static (and better understood) elements we continue to call “articles” today. We introduce examples to think about how electronic scholarship currently challenges our well-engrained approaches to long-term archiving and preservation. We argue that e-journals are dynamic collections of dynamic entities-Web sites in their own right. Archiving “articles” alone, however necessary, hardly does justice to innovative Web scholarship.

MIT's introduction of DSpace as an operating service illustrates the many political and organizational considerations that must be addressed to establish and operate institutional repositories. In addition to detailing some of the policies developed and organizational changes undertaken, this article describes the kinds of questions future implementers of DSpace will want to answer. It also outlines the impacts the service has had on the library, on MIT, and on the perception of MIT Libraries within the Institute.
